Plots(1)

The film stars Kristen Wiig as the dishevelled and unhappy Annie, who after losing her dream job, boyfriend, and all her life savings, clings to her childhood friendship with Lillian, played by Maya Rudolph. Following the announcement of Lillian's engagement, Annie is faced with the huge pressure of proving herself not only as the best friend, but as the Maid Of Honour. Annie soon finds herself in a state of competition with Lillian's brand new richer, prettier friend Helen (Rose Byrne) who constantly attempts to upstage her. As the rivalry between the two heats up, hilarity ensues as Annie train wrecks her way through all of her, and Helen's, pre-wedding arrangements for Lillian: from giving the entire bridal party explosive diarrhoea, to getting them all kicked off the plane on the way to Las Vegas.

English A very vulgar film with female leads that in real life would be insufferable, but, as it’s usual with Apatow, the humour is effective and the emotions are genuine. Something that Czech comedies for the common folk can only dream about. ()

English Fair and incorrect humor involving a newly formed group of friends, who aren’t actually such great friends in reality. Fair in the sense that somebody finally showed us that not only men have their days, but that this afflicts women as well and when the star consellations align in the ideal manner, they can surprise you with a number of situations which they certainly don’t need to feel ashamed of. Fine by me. I took me a while to get used to them girls, but Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy and Rose Byrne eventually convinced me that Bridesmaids is a well-made politically incorrect comedy. ()

English An average comedy about above-average swashbuckling women. The first hour really wasn't that great, but the second part of the film and a few really excellent scenes (the one on the plane and Annie breaking the law in the car) saved the film overall. The fault, however, I see in the uninteresting script and the cast. I would have completely cut the sentimental scenes involving Annie's pie shop and the initial toast to the bride. ()

English I am going to award this movie two stars because the story is not entirely bad. Also, it is quite interesting in places, although I was not too fond of the rest of it. The last time I saw a bunch of such horrible women was probably in Sex and the City, and their "rampage" and interactions were quite distasteful to me. Plus, I have nothing against poo jokes. However, seeing Melissa McCarthy pooping in the sink next to another idiot throwing up on another girl's head was not funny. It was, in fact, rather scary and slightly embarrassing, which from a person who had a good time watching Kevin & Perry Go Large probably sounds pretty weird, but what can you do? ()

English My favorite Kristen Wiig wasn’t enough for me to ignore the film’s shortcomings. I could easily have done without the sight of Rebel Wilson’s rolled-up t-shirt and a dress fitting with a fecal ending. The plot was incredibly predictable, and I never really understood the wedding frenzy. The film also had a few bright moments, though. ()

English This title can be discouraging for a guy, especially the Czech title, but even the male generation should not be discouraged. Besides seeing how women can be bitches, what wars they can lead, how crazy they can be, we also watch a good comedy that may not keep you on the edge of your seat every minute, but you will have a good time with it. Because unlike many other works, it does not lack a strong story. This is something it has in common with the movie "Kopačky". "Women Only" is actually about how one of the six friends is getting married. But it's not really about that so much. What got me is the fact that it's mainly about people, their stories, and that even this unique event can be a catalyst for hatred. Annie has the main role in this, and she definitely is not a positive character, but you may even hate her. Annie is simply crazy and she is the one who ruins everything. But in the end, friendship fixes everything. I know it sounds pathetic, but it is presented tastefully in the movie. I also like the film because Chris O'Dowd, aka Roy from "The IT Crowd," appears in it. Melissa McCarthy also draws a lot of attention and she is a revelation. She is vulgar, disgusting, bold, and great. Deserving of an Oscar nomination. More: http://www.filmovy-denik.cz/2012/04/diar-milovnika-filmu-c-0002-zajimave.html ()
